I also have the parent species Psychopsis papilio which has also been in bloom with 3 spikes for more than a year but flowers are slightly smaller than the hybrid.
I think those are the neatest orchs! I took Shane to the orchid farm a few weeks ago and one was in bloom. Hiseyes got real big and he said "Mommy, a butterfly got in here!" Then I told him it was a flower and he just said,"WOW!"
Very nice.
